Self Anagram

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, rearrange "none" to get "neon".

It is not considered an anagram if you exchange a letter with the same letter. For example, switching the n's with each other in "noun" does not give an anagram.

Even though a word is not considered an anagram of itself, your task is to find a word that is an anagram of itself. If you can do the seemingly impossible once, you might as well find a second word that is an anagram of itself.

Dear tintiniscool -
TinTin may be cool, but you need to send TinTin to School! "Filets" are slices of meat or fish, as in "Filet of Sole," or "Filet Mignon" (a gourmet cut of steak) or even salmon or perch filets.

Oh. I thought it was homonyms. I got "read" and "read"... the first one is a homonym of "reed" the second a homonym of "red," thus making the same spelling two different words, one the past tense of the other.

I realised that we had to find anagrams of 'itself', but didn't have the patience to work out both of your answers.
As an afterthought I did come up with 'fliest' which is also in the dictionary (honest!) defined as the 'superlative of fly'.

Got the trick right away, and got stubborn trying to get the anagram... I wasn't going to "throw in the towel"... Please return my towel at your earliest convenience. Good trick, tough anagram, great teaser. Thanks!

Um, udoboy? I'm sorry, but I know you'll appreciate this gem of knowledge. Read and read are homonyms: spelled the same, sound different. Read and reed, as well as read and red, are homophones: sound the same, spelled differently. Clever approach, though.

As soon as I read the hint I realized that you wanted an anagram made out of the word "itself" and I did get stifle, but not filets. To those who think the word "itself" should have been put in quotes, that would have given it away without the hint. We're supposed to do some thinking on these trick ones.

*sigh* Like so many of my predacessors I was young and easily found the trick itself. Yet for the rest of my life I was stuck in the country, searching a meaningless search. Yes it was a lonely life on the farm. All alone. No one to talk to...

I was checking on wikionary that "stifle" was correct when I saw "filets" under it (as an anagram, of course, WHY did they add those to definitions??) so I had to come up with a different 'other one'. I have heard the word "flite" used long ago, I gathered it meant a tiff or a tantrum, from the way it was used, so I checked to see if the plural "s" was correct, and it was so, to have a little fun :
Old Scottish Proverb:
If you value your life, do not start flites by telling your wife to "Stifle!" when she is making filets and still has the knife in her hand.
